IHNJ, IJLS . . .

"The rabbi also said that if the police do not use pig fat in buses, tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews will arm themselves with spray guns filled with liquid lard, which they will spray on terrorists whenever the need arises."

Oh. Kay.

NO, really.

I had not thought things were desperate enough that the ridiculous had become reasonable.
Either:
1) Maariv got owned/bamboozled/scammed, or
2) A fringe piece has been reported as mainstream, or
3) Papal[1] -- er, Rabbinical -- dispensation goes a loooong way.

Dang. It reminds me of the "Israeli army coats rubber bullets with pork" disinformaton campaign from a few years ago. But... it's reported in mainstream Israeli press. Desperation or farce?

[1] Papal, not Paypal, you geek, you.

Wouldn't paypal dispensation be what happens when someone owns their site?
